**US federal prosecutors in New York unsealed an indictment in late April 2026 charging Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya with conspiring alongside nine other current or former state officials to protect the Los Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel in exchange for bribes and electoral support.** The charges allege Rocha helped facilitate fentanyl and other drug shipments into the United States while in office. Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR) reviewed the extradition request but determined the evidence provided was insufficient under Mexican law, leading Rocha to take an initial leave of absence in May. In late August, Rocha briefly resumed his post after claiming Mexican investigators had found no basis for the allegations, only to request an indefinite leave again within days amid sharp criticism from President Claudia Sheinbaum and Morena party figures who viewed the return as politically damaging. Mexican authorities have not detained him, and no new public developments on extradition or domestic charges have emerged through early September. Trader sentiment centers on whether the FGR investigation, potential additional US evidence, or bilateral diplomatic pressure will produce an arrest or extradition before the end of Rocha’s term, weighed against Mexico’s consistent stance on sovereignty and evidentiary standards.
